As shift workers, we can be highly stressed purely by the roles that we perform, and that may bring about episodes of using food for comfort.
Facing the struggles of stress and stress eating head-on, we've got expert Shannon Beer here to help us unravel the threads of temptation and self-soothing with food.
Shannon joins me to explain why we often find ourselves turning to food after a tough shift and how we can combat this impulse with healthier strategies. Leveraging her knowledge on the subject, Shannon introduces us to a transformative practice: compassionate letter writing. A technique designed to foster a more understanding attitude towards our physical and mental health, it's a powerful tool in reducing susceptibility to highly palatable, calorically dense food choices.
Shannon doesn't stop there, she digs deeper into the structure of a compassionate letter, illustrating how this tactic helps us acknowledge our challenges, own our choices, and create strategies to support ourselves in a better way. Self-compassion, as we discuss, plays a pivotal role in this process. We also touch upon mindfulness and journaling as additional aids to nurture a gentler commitment to oneself. Our conversation aims to arm shift workers, and anyone else wrestling with stress, with the tools to make healthier food decisions and manage stress more effectively. Don't miss out on this engaging dialogue packed with actionable strategies for your stress management kit.
